Northern Beaches band Crocodylus have announced a string of shows across New South Wales this November and December! As if that wasn't enough the trio have dropped their new banger, Camouflage.
The Social Climber Tour will see the band perform in Sydney, Byron Bay, Wollongong and Newcastle. Performing all your favourites, plus some new tunes, this run of shows ill be the trios first proper performances since the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to their 2020 plans. After performing some intimate socially distanced shows in August, the band are no masters of COVID-19 safe shows, bringing the energy and their high-calibre musicianship to the sit down shows.
Their new track is another scintillating taste of what Crocodylus have in store for 2021, with the track taking cues from some of the punk rock greats. Camouflage takes its conceptual inspiration from a recurring eye infection and retreating from the world out of self-consciousness.
Frontman Josh Williams elaborates:"At the start of each year I get this eye infection and that’s the time I know I need to hibernate to get better. So that’s what this song is about, an eye infection. I get kind of embarrassed, as you can tell from the opening lyrics 'Don’t wanna be seen'. I hummed the song in my head at work and wrote it on guitar as soon as I got home. We then had a producing day with Owen Penglis and tightened the song up a bit. It’s influenced by such bands like The Saints, The Damned and The Clash maybe just not as cool."
Directed by Jamieson Kerr, the tracks accompanying visual is a hallucinatory dream full with some skin-on-skin scenes and wacky settings. Watch the music video below!
